Byrne Creek captures senior boys basketball BNWSSAA banner

Byrne Creek Secondary’s senior boys basketball team captured its first BNWSSAA banner in at least three years Thursday, defeating Burnaby South Secondary 63-56 in a back-and-forth barnburner that came down to the final minute of play.
While the result doesn’t mean much technically for the Bulldogs seeding at the upcoming Lower Mainland playoffs, it was significant for other reasons, according to coach Bal Dhillon.
“It’s a great rivalry,” he told the NOW. “This is about being the Burnaby champs.”
While the triple-A Bulldogs – who climbed to fourth-place in provincial rankings this week – took down the quad-A Rebels, Burnaby Central defeated New Westminster 90-86.
